Many of the pre-tornado storms of the midwest in the 50’s and 60’s gave a peculiar green hue to the air and sky, everything went completely still and all animals were quiet, a big hush fell, and then the winds started. What an experience it was. We were lucky that none of our family was ever hurt or our home impacted.
I miss those storms but wouldn’t want to experience the highly amped ones of today in any kind of close proximity.
And so goes the corn crop…
My home town… and that’s St. Joseph’s cathedral in the background… one of the country’s lovliest if you have ever seen the inside…
interesting stuff. never heard before that skies could turn green.
are the green skies related to this?
Dark Matter Harvester in South Dakota -
Green skies are a sign of heavy ionization in a storm and often precede heavy hail and tornadic storms.
St Joseph’s Cathedral, where I was baptized. A very beautiful church inside.
It’s a sight to behold and raises hairs on the back of one’s neck. It happens in Missouri and all tornado prone areas. Very dramatic displays of plasma?
One reason I strongly suspect heavy ionization is the colour but much more because in my experience with those skies the electrical storms were quite off the charts. And not one of them was without a large amount of hail.
… Yep, In 1979 when the tornado hit Wichita Falls the sky was the most splendid color of Pea Green. I was about 90 miles NW from WF and to this day I have never seen thunderheads to match those. Glad I was behind that set of clouds.
My aunt got pictures of that twister. I couldn’t believe it!
This story is a year old.
